2006 marks the return of LEAETHER STRIP side-project KLUTAE, through
which the Danish master of Electro / Industrial expresses his most
extravagant torments and fantasies. KLUTAE's first releases showcased a
rather heavy and turbo-driven guitar-oriented sound which brought him
comparisons to metal-industrial acts like FEAR FACTORY, BILE and SWAMP
TERRORISTS, yet Claus Larsen has always considered this project as his
most eclectic and unpredictable outlet. So it was no major surprise
seeing its hardest walls of synthesised guitar noise eventually giving
way to mid-tempo pounding tracks powered by the Leaether Strip trademark
EBM bass-lines and Larsen's chameleon vocals. In fact, KLUTAE
traditionally stands for a more punkish 'in your face attitude' with
tongue-in-cheek lyrics and angst-ridden old-school elektro arrangements.
And it's with that very characteristic sense of humour that Claus
Larsen invites us now on another extravaganza journey through desert
storms, biker orgies, hell fires, death valley saloons and other sexy
parties...KLUTAE is loud and fun - it's dense aggro-electro from the
tortured soul of Claus Larsen's bastard alter ego.
